THE LONDON PARTICULAR - GREEN SPLIT PEA SOUP
This soup, made with the bacon stock from Boiled Smoked Bacon, is so named because of the thick, dense 'peasouper' London fogs that were so prevalent during the first half of the last century.

Steps:
- First strain off 3½ pints (2 litres) bacon stock into a large saucepan and bring just up to simmering point, then add the split peas, stir well and simmer very gently for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile heat 1 oz (25 g) of the butter in another saucepan and add 4 oz (110 g) of the bacon along with the prepared vegetables. Cook them over a medium heat until softened and nicely golden - this will take about 15 minutes. After that the bacon and softened vegetables can be transferred to join the stock and split peas. Then add some salt and freshly milled pepper, put the lid on and simmer very gently for a further 40-50 minutes. Meanwhile heat a frying pan (without any fat in it) and fry the remaining bacon until it is really crisp, then transfer it to a plate using a draining spoon. Next add 1 oz (25 g) of the butter to the pan, and as soon as it begins to foam add the cubes of bread and fry these, tossing them around, for about five minutes until they are also nice and crisp. When the soup is ready, either process it in a food processor or liquidise, then return it to the saucepan. Taste to check the seasoning, adding just a little more of any reserved stock if it seems a little too thick. Just before serving melt the remaining butter into it, then ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle each one with the croutons and crispy bacon bits.
LONDON PARTICULAR: HAM AND PEA SOUP
This classic British soup takes its name from the dense fogs that used to cover London, known as "pea soupers" due to their yellowy/green colour. In Charles Dickens' "Bleak House", William Guppy remarks to Esther Summerson that the fog is a "London Particular", giving this soup it's rather delightful alternative name. Traditionally made with split green or yellow peas and ham stock, if you have no ham stock to hand, use chicken or vegetable stock instead with some cooked bacon in place of the ham that is usually added. This hearty soup makes a comforting main meal when served with crusty bread and butter.

Steps:
- Rinse the soaked peas until the water runs clear, I find it easier to do this in a sieve over the sink. Set the peas to one side.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and sweat the onions until they are soft. Add the soaked and rinsed peas and the stock; bring to the boil before reducing the heat so the soup is just gently simmering. Simmer until the peas are very soft, this will take between 30-45 minutes. (Depending on how old the dried peas are - the older they are, the longer it will take for them to cook)
- Blend the soup in a blender (or with an immersion blender) until smooth - do this in batches if necessary, and add a little more stock if it's too thick. Season to taste with pepper, be careful of adding extra salt if you have used ham stock which will be salty already.
- Return the blended soup to the saucepan, add some of the ham or bacon and bring the soup back up to a gentle simmer, do not allow it to boil. Serve in warmed bowls with chopped lovage or celery leaves scattered over the top. (This adds a lovely savoury and "fresh" favour to the soup)
HAM AND SPLIT PEA SOUP RECIPE - A GREAT SOUP
